Assembling the 91" Extra NG v2 | Extreme Flight

[@Nickwev77]

Lovely airframe, nice build. Look forward to seeing it rip 👊🏼

[@MattTakharRC]

Cheers bud. Can’t wait for Sunday!

[@ianbrookes6978]

Stunning model Matt and the graphics really finish it off. Great tip with saving the control horn base covering. You made it 37 minutes in before you mentioned the size of your workshop….😂😂😂

[@MattTakharRC]

I can’t help myself! Every time I’m in my workshop I wish it was three times bigger! I guess I would still fill it up with planes 🤣😁🤘🏽

[@MichaelRossFLHTK]

Can you explain the linkage hookup to the surface horns. They give you 2 washers nd a small conical piece and Im not sure the correct geometry to hook them up to the horns.. Thanks!

[@MattTakharRC]

Hi, sure this is how i do it. I put the bolt through the first washer, then the small round piece, then horn, then washer and finally nut. Let me know if you want a photo. I could post it to one of my social pages for you

[@dandork20]

What capacity batteries do you use and what's the flight time?

[@MattTakharRC]

Hi. I use 2 x 6s 6000mAh and get around 5.5 minutes of battery power. My timer stops when the throttle is down, so my flights are about 6.5 minutes ish. To be honest I was hoping for longer flights.

[@dandork20]

@@MattTakharRC thank you!!

[@Bucketheadzie]

Thanks for the video it’s very helpful. Are those 3500 2s rx packs? Curious how many flights you get with those packs. Trying to decide on a capacity for an 85inch 12s setup. I was thinking of going with a single 3000 2s and buy two of them to swap to help keep the weight down a little. One other question, on your Y harness looks like it’s 10 awg wire. Do you get any excessive heat built up in the harness after flying?

[@DmitriyZlodeev]

Don’t ailerons use 1.5inch servo arms?

[@MattTakharRC]

Yes they do and flaps and elevators. I didn’t have any but do now!

[@DmitriyZlodeev]

@@MattTakharRC Sweet, I got myself an early birthday gift (ef slick580 91inch) and don’t know what servo arms I need.😹

[@MattTakharRC]

@@DmitriyZlodeev congrats! Looks like you need 1.5, 2 and 4 inch (depending on rudder setup). EF are pretty good at listing out the parts. www.probuild-uk.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=7138

[@schalkvs]

hi, what quick release mechanisms are you using?

[@MattTakharRC]

It’s pre installed with the newer Extreme Flight kits

[@robertjones1855]

Whose stand did you use in this video?

[@MattTakharRC]

Hi. It’s a TURNIGY DELUXE ALLOY MODEL STAND purchased from Hobby King.

[@swiggy109]

Aesome Airframe and Build, Just a quick question, I have a Skywing NG and going electric, to power the RX and Servos seperatley, Do I Simply not plug the leads coming from the Spektrum Avian BEC into the rx?

[@MattTakharRC]

Hi. It really depends on the ESC. On some you need to remove RED wire from the throttle lead coming out of ESC to the rx, this will stop the ESC powering the RX. You don’t want that as you are installing separate pack(a) for the TX and servos. I think spectrum do a bi-pass module which mean should don’t need to pull the red wire. I have a castle ESC in my NG, I’ve not pulled any wires, I’m now thinking I need to double check it!

[@swiggy109]

@MattTakharRC Perfecr thanks Matt, I have 3 leads coming out of the avian esc, 1 obviously throttle and the other 2 not sure, I would assume the other 2 are coming from the bec, so I would just remove the red wire from the throttle lead and plug all 3 leads in? Would you happen to know what that bypass module is called? Appreciate you getting back to me

[@MattTakharRC]

Do you know what the model number of your Avian is? You would typically remove the red from the throttle lead. I’m presuming the other leads are for telemetry and programming. If you give me the model number I can try to check it out

[@MattTakharRC]

There is a good wire ping section in this manual. Page 4 onwards. It looks like you need a SMART ESC to get telemetry data. I’ve not read all of it as I’m currently out. www.horizonhobby.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-horizon-master/default/dwb627f043/Manuals/Avian-Manual-EN.pdf

[@swiggy109]

@MattTakharRC yea I have the 100amp one, just seen the other 2 leads are coming from the dual BEC setup they have going, so as you say they are more telemetry etc, so I would just remove the red wire from the throttle and leave the other 2 unplugged from the rx, I'm a newbie to these electric setups lol, appreciate it Matt , my esc is the SPMXAE1100 100amp

[@waynemiller6070]

My goodness, I've turned into my old man. When I was a kid I really wanted some Coke pants. I thought they were so cool. My dad couldn't understand why I would want to spend my money to advertise a company's product. Now I feel the same way about the stickers. $79 and 3 1/2 hours to advertise for the company. I can see spending the money to advertise Matt Takhar RC, but not to advertise for Futaba or Extreme Flights etc. OMG I'm old now! Lol

[@MattTakharRC]

Haha each to their own. I love the EF models and happy to stick their logo on... I've actually be meaning to get a few stickers printed! thanks for reminding me!

[@donallen1255]

The aileruons servo connection did not look good at all

[@simoneguanziroli3310]

noooo rudder central servo

[@MattTakharRC]

How do you mean? Are you saying don't use a central rudder servo? Go pull push instead?

[@simoneguanziroli3310]

@@MattTakharRC yes, in tail

[@DEeMONsworld]

That looks like terrible geometry on the wing servo arms location. and I'm I'm not impressed with the canopy fit an peeling covering

[@MattTakharRC]

Hi. On mine I could use slightly bigger arms to change the geometry slightly. The rod should be straight when the aileron is on full deflection/travel. I’ve not had an issues with the covering or canopy fit. Do you have issues on yours?

[@DEeMONsworld]

@@MattTakharRC I'm currently shopping for an airframe, looking at various makers of the NG. That looked a little tight but I agree with your comments, but shortest arms to get the right geometry in theory is best, in practice I'm sure it's all overkill. Just going on the video for the appearance issues.

[@MattTakharRC]

@@DEeMONsworld the Extreme Flight kit are really good quality. I am however tempted to try a Pilot kit soon. I’m currently building an AJ Aircraft Raven 92” which is also pretty good but it doesn’t compare to the EF NG.

[@DEeMONsworld]

@@MattTakharRC I'm also looking at the skywing 91" any experience with that one, seems a good value, but slightly smaller wing area

[@MattTakharRC]

I only have a small Skywing Lazer which is foam but really good fun. The skywing models do look good. kzbin.infoJ9Cn23FOwQQ?feature=share
